When you think of Italy, you might picture rolling hills, ancient villages, and rich history. But there’s one region of Italy that stands out not only for its beauty but for its incredibly flavorful olive oil—Umbria. Known as the “Green Heart of Italy,” this region is steeped in tradition, culture, and some of the world’s best olive oil. At Turtle Creek, we are proud to bring you the unique flavors of Umbria, where generations of growers have perfected the art of olive oil production.
Nestled in the center of Italy, Umbria is known for its lush landscape and rolling hills, which are covered with forests, vineyards, and, of course, olive groves. The region is famous for its oak forests, home to delectable fungi porcini and prized truffles, which are hunted by specially trained dogs. The hillsides of Umbria are dotted with olive groves, carefully cultivated by local farmers who have honed their skills over centuries. These groves are often perched on steep slopes, making the production process labor-intensive and the yield lower, but the quality is undeniably superior.
The valleys below are reserved for crops like wheat, while in the summer, fields of sunflowers stretch as far as the eye can see. Between the vineyards and the forests lie the olive groves, soaking in the rich soil and the perfect amount of sunshine. It’s this harmony between nature and the land that makes the olive oil from Umbria some of the best in the world.
What sets Turtle Creek Olive Oil apart is our commitment to quality and tradition. The olive oil we offer is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of Umbrian farmers. We embrace the challenges of the region—from the steep slopes to the unpredictable weather—because we know that these factors contribute to the exceptional flavor profile of our oil.
